Participation in Curriculum Development/Review and Teaching Management

Member of the CAE Department undergraduate curriculum committee from September 2012 until now and the college curriculum and timetabling committee (2013-2014). One of the main duties of these committees is the development and/or the modification of degree plans and courses.

Member of the College Instructional Development Committee (CIDC) (April 2015 – present). One of its main tasks is to improve the quality of teaching in the faculty of engineering.

Have been continuously improving course materials and introducing new topics to meet new engineering challenges and to meet the ABET requirements. This can be highlighted as follow:

CIVL6110 Advanced Reinforced Concrete: Prepared/edited/updated course description, materials, notes and added some new topics to the course.

CIVL3036 Structures I: Developed a truss bridge competition project between students, which was considered by all students in the course as one of the best activities they have seen in the CAE department. They commented that it was very interesting for them and that they learned many things from this activity. They also asked to involve such activities in all courses.

CIVL4016 Structures II: Introduced new structural analysis software programs which were successfully used by students. This improved the course and gave the students good and fast tools for solving real problems.

CIVL4206 Concrete Design: Some finite element analysis and design programs were introduced to students. In addition, students were encouraged to make their own design programs. This resulted in some good quality programs developed by students.

AREN5116 Graduation Project II: Instead of manual calculation the students usually use in the analysis and design of their structures in this course, I introduced some modern modelling and analysis software programs (as required by the ABET) such as SAFE, SAP 2000, STAAD Pro., and RCC which greatly enhanced the quality of their final year projects and gave them a fast and accurate tool to solve and design their projects.

Developed a short course (3 days) in King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, about modern analysis and design software programs. The course title is “Introduction to SAP 2000”, (in 2010 and 2011).

SHERIF E. EL-GAMAL 7 | P a g e

use of FRP reinforcement in concrete bridges, parking garages, and continuous reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP). My research includes also intelligent sensing and structural health monitoring of concrete structures using Fiber Optic Sensors (FOS), durability of FRP bars and FRP reinforced concrete elements, and rehabilitation/strengthening of concrete structural elements using FRPs. I was the winner of the Sultan Qaboos University Best Research Paper Award in the academic year 2014-2015 and the winner of the Sultan Qaboos University Scientific and Research Award in the academic year 2016-2017. I have more than 25 refereed journal papers, 35 conference papers and several technical reports and

posters.
